Hong Kong, China, 23 January 2025 – Guidepost Montessori Hong Kong proudly hosted its first Winter Bazaar at Guidepost’s primary school, the Academy of Innovation (AIP), celebrating the joy of the winter and New Year season. Welcoming more than 550 families from across Hong Kong, this festive event featured engaging activities for children, captivating performances by Guidepost and AIP students, a vibrant marketplace, and highlights of cultural traditions associated with winter festivities. The Guidepost Montessori Winter Bazaar created a warm and welcoming atmosphere for families, marking the kickoff of the Guidepost Montessori’s 5th Anniversary while generating charitable contributions to support Mother’s Choice.
The Guidepost Montessori Winter Bazaar was thoughtfully crafted to foster engagement, highlighting the benefits of being part of the Guidepost and AIP community. Families enjoyed a variety of children's activities, including face painting, balloon art, free painting, spring festival couplet writing, sports activities by Tekkerz, a robotics workshop by Campus X, crafts workshops by LUSH and Anewtoys, and a family photo service by Venture Studios.
The bustling marketplace featured an array of local businesses that serve families, including Trappist Dairy, Catalo, Maison Kayser, PNKids, The Wee Bean, Heroes Beer Co, Retykle, AquaGreen, Southlane, Cacaolab, Sick Burger, and Hole Foods. Additionally, parents had the opportunity to visit Montessori primary school classroom showcases at AIP, which displayed student work and provided insight into the unique learning environments.
In partnership with Mother’s Choice, Guidepost Montessori organized a community-driven initiative to support the Stride for Hope campaign. This inspiring fitness and charity event encourages participants to collectively complete 9,000 km through running, cycling, swimming, or walking over two months, culminating in a gathering on February 15, 2025. By inviting community members to sponsor these efforts, Guidepost Montessori aims to support Mother’s Choice Child Care Home. Cosmic Education Group (CEG), parent company of Guidepost Montessori Hong Kong and AIP, will match every donation raised up to HKD 50,000, doubling the community’s impact.
“As we embark on our journey toward the 5th anniversary, we reflect on the remarkable growth and milestones achieved over the past five years,” said Mr. Steve Xu, CEO and founder of CEG, “I’m deeply grateful for the incredible impact we’ve made together in the lives of our children, families, and community. I’m excited that this year we’re extending that impact by supporting the wonderful work of Mother’s Choice.”
Sky Siu, CEO of Mother’s Choice, expressed, “We are delighted to join Guidepost Montessori in celebrating their five-year anniversary. We’re deeply grateful for your community’s commitment and support in helping us care for babies and young girls in crisis. By joining our Stride for Hope online sports challenge, we are excited for your staff and families to join hands with us in achieving our vision of every child is in a loving family. Thank you for making a lasting impact on the lives of those we serve in Hong Kong.”
The Guidepost Montessori Winter Bazaar and the upcoming anniversary happenings do not only celebrate the past but also demonstrate a commitment to the future. This milestone focuses on people—children, parents, employees, and the wider community. By sharing a vision for Montessori education, community engagement, and care, Guidepost Montessori and AIP aims to lay the groundwork for continued growth and positive impact in the years to come.
